AT&T Titanium 2 mobile sounds a bit as if it is a cell phone or something very similar. Usually these devices are not using PC compatible hardware and thus Ubuntu can't be used.

If it is a laptop or netbook with x86 processor of some kind (Atom processors are quite popular for netbooks at present), then it is usually possible to install Ubuntu. Depending on the hardware the device uses, getting everything to work properly might take some time (as it was with Ubuntu 9.04 on my ASUS 1005HA-M) or be impossible (if there is no driver at all for the hardware).

You are absolutely right. AT&T Titanium 2 sounds more like a mobile phone or a similar device, and in that case, Ubuntu installation might not be feasible or supported. Ubuntu is primarily designed for desktop and laptop computers with x86 or x86-64 processors.

If AT&T Titanium 2 is indeed a mobile phone or a non-PC device, it's unlikely that you can install Ubuntu on it. Mobile devices typically have different architectures (such as ARM) and operating systems (like Android or iOS) specifically optimized for their hardware.

For laptops or netbooks with x86 processors, as you mentioned, installing Ubuntu is generally possible and well-supported. The hardware compatibility might vary, and some configurations may require additional effort to get all components working properly.

As for movie conversion and storage, if you're using a mobile phone or tablet with Android or iOS, there are various video conversion apps available on their respective app stores that you can use for converting movies and transferring them to your device. Additionally, there are cloud storage services that allow you to store and access your files, including movies, across multiple devices.

Remember to always check the device's official documentation, community forums, or manufacturer's support to verify the compatibility and supported operating systems before attempting to install any software or operating systems on your device.
